Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I can confirm that the school referred to by the Deputy has submitted applications to my Department for capital funding in relation to its school accommodation. The applications concerned are currently being considered and my Department will be in contact with the school concerned shortly. I also wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has not received a request for a meeting from the school but would be open to such a meeting, if required.
